Get Japanese documents apostilled by Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs for use in India, USA, Germany, or any Hague country. Managed procurement, translation, and delivery.
Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (ๅคๅ็, MOFA) is the Competent Authority for apostilles in Japan. Japan joined the Hague Convention in 1970, making it one of the earliest Asian countries to participate. Japanese apostilles can be obtained through MOFA's Tokyo headquarters or its regional offices (Sapporo, Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka).
Japanese civil documents โ family register extracts (ๆธ็ฑ่ฌๆฌ), residence cards, and court documents โ require official Japanese certification before MOFA will apostille them. For corporate documents, the Legal Affairs Bureau (ๆณๅๅฑ) issues company registry extracts that can then be taken to MOFA for apostille. One important consideration: most Japanese documents are in Japanese script. Certified translation into English (or the destination country's language) by a sworn translator is almost always required alongside the apostilled original.
GetNotary coordinates Japanese MOFA apostille via Japan-based agents and provides certified English translation for all document types, making Japanese documents ready for submission to Indian ROC, US courts, German authorities, or any other Hague country's institutions.
A Hague apostille issued in this jurisdiction is recognised in all other Hague member countries without further embassy attestation.
We confirm document type, issuing office, and whether prior certification is needed.
